“Perfection!”

Reviewed October 13, 2015
for a stay in September 2015

What an amazing property. I was blown away from the minute we walked in the door. It's like having an entire resort all to yourself. The house is beautifully designed and decorated. The rooms are all bright and luxurious and well situated so you could have your own space. Not to mention the view looking out over the water and islands in the distance. The kids practically lived in the pool!I really can't speak highly enough of the friendly and attentive staff. I can definitely recommend making use of their expertise in making your holiday that much more special.I have no negatives to mention so I will end my review with this bold statement.Best. Holiday. Ever.

We stayed at Villa Takali for ten days in a large family group, ages 3 - 80. The house is outstanding, with luxurious attention to detail, and has something for everyone - an infinity pool, tennis court, hot tub, movie theater, library and study, with a magnificent beach reaching to the lawn. Truly, a wonderful place.

An excellent staff of about eight took care of our every need, including special diet requirements, with kindness and care - they also provided baby-sitting as needed.

We are grateful to the owner for a stay that surpassed all our hopes, and for having helped make our family vacation a huge success.

For a large group of both adults and 6 kids under 10, you could not think of a more perfect, venue and location. Photo's do not do Villa Takali justice. The house is amazing, the kids were in heaven with the pool, ocean, bunk house, movies, tennis....And the adults could be either be involved or not as they chose. The service of Tukini, Ala and their crew is top class. The food and cocktails of high quality resort level. Awesome!

We stayed at villa Takali with our family and had a wonderful relaxing time. takali is a very enjoyable place for all the family there are so many things you can do to fill in your time right there at the villa. We went and purchased some fishing rods and spent a lot of time fishing of the beach and small reef out the front of the villa and weren't short of a catch. The children even had the fish cooked up by the chef for dinner. There is so much sea life for the children to catch a explore like hermit crabs and starfish. Takali is big enough for everyone to have some of there own space and there is no shortage of areas for your group to sit relax and enjoy a cocktail or two .... We like going and sitting at the outdoor bar in the afternoon and having a surprise cocktail of the day. The staff at Takali are such warm and friendly people that you won't want to leave. We had no trouble filling up out 3 weeks at the villa and would recommend it to all.

Just exquisite...What a fantastic experience we had at Villa Takali last week. The attention to detail in everything is 1st class.

This is not your normal Fijian Island holiday. Yes you get an amazing pool which unbelievably is even better than it looks in the website photos, Yes the beach is beautiful and clean, Yes you are surrounded by the warmth and friendliness of the Fijian locals and Yes there is no better place that we've ever seen (and we have travelled a lot) to simply chill out and relax in pure luxury and utter beauty.

Every detail has been thought of here. I was told that the owner designed this to contain the best of the best luxury villas and boutique hotels they had stayed in globally. This has been done perfectly with no short cuts anywhere.

All the rooms are wonderfully designed. The quality and comfort of all furnishings are equivalent to a 5 star hotel. Beds and all lounging areas (and there are a lot of these) are extremely comfortable. Then there is the movie room (which is no ordinary movie room), the tennis court, the great fully stocked private bar complete with an experienced barman and even a quiet private office if required. The list just goes on and on.

But the FOOD...WOW...that really was something none of us expected. We decided to take the full food service option and what a great choice we made. We felt like we were eating at a world class restaurant each breakfast lunch and dinner. We ate down on the private beach as well outside on undercover round table complete with its central rotating tray. The Chefs were just amazing and there is no need to even think about going anywhere else for any meal as the best of the best gets served to you at the villa. We ate so many different foods that its too hard to write down but will give you an idea...Degustation is a "must do" with 5 or 6 courses each so impeccably prepared and crafted. Then there are the sensational a la carte options. Favourite dishes...all of them....standouts: Panko and Nori Tuna Sashimi , Half Lobster Tail with mudcrab & lemon beurre blanc, Rare Beef Salad with truffle oil, Duck Confit with seared scallops and Grilled Sesame Tuna with choi-sum and papaya salad. For dessert do not miss out on the Baked Caramel Cheesecake with banana compote and chocolate sauce or the amazing Fiji Vanilla Crème Brulee.

All in all we felt we got double the luxury for half the price of any of the high end Fijian resorts.

Thank you Villa Takali – we will definitely be coming back (have already booked actually!!)

“An Incredible beachfront property, perfect for a large group for a special celebration”

Reviewed August 9, 2014
for a stay in July 2014

Our stay at Villa Takali was quite simply AMAZING. We went with two other families with 9 children (aged 3-13) between us and it comfortably housed us all in utmost luxury. The villa is very spacious allowing so many different options that everyone was continually occupied and therefore happy (tennis, hot tub, reading on the extra large sun loungers, indoor cinema -with an incredible amount of downloaded films and series t, escaping for quiet time in one of the two private courtyards, paddle boarding to the reef or walking on the 1.5km stretch of secluded beach) It is stylishly furnished whilst still feeling very homely. The staff, lead by the wonderful warm and friendly Tukini - (who incidentally makes the most fantastic cocktails), could not do enough for us. In our 9 day stay they organised a Lovo (traditional Fijian underground BBQ) Kava ceremony, a meke (Traditional Fijian dance), bonfires on the beach to toast marshmallows, in house massages , hair braiding for the girls, and even organised for the boys to watch the local rugby team training which certainly was a highlight for my son! We also hosted my daughter's birthday and they were so accommodating helping decorate the villa and ensuring it was a day she would never forget. This is an incredibly happy place with special people and stunning sunrises. I can't recommend highly enough, Vinaka vaka levu Villa Takali ,,,, we hope to see you again very soon!
